How to make

Stir until dough forms a ball. Return to heat. Cook, stirring vigorously, 1-2 minutes or until mixture leaves sides of pan and forms a ball. Remove from heat. Let cool 5 minutes. Add 4 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, until batter is smooth. Whisk remaining egg and 1 teaspoon water in small bowl to make egg wash. Set aside.
